The death ofanoiher distinguished
national character and the eulogies
poured out without stint upon him.
now that his earthly presence is re-
moved, suggests the thought OF how
much better it would be to bestow
merited praise, or at least apprecia-
ton and due courtesy to the political
leaders and men in public trust dur
ing their active service while with us
in the flesh.
In the excitement OF partisan con-
flict and in the warmth OF debate,
how often are our able men compell-
ed to bear SANDER, abuse, the sneers
of opponents, and the unjust deteri-
Grafton of those who consider it a
part OF their political creed to run
down an opposite candidate for office!
General Logan was no exception
to being victimized by this ignoble
habit, and had to bear his share of
approbrium, though perhaps not so
much as some Others have borne
o! that our countrymen would
cultivate the spirit of true manliness,
and whatever opposition there may
be to certain principles and measures
Weld each to the other that kindly
courtesy which is OF should be due
to all. And in the private walks OF
life why will we not always gladly
give the need of praise to those who
deserve it; always be ready with
words of encouragement and OF sym
patty, that we may not have tue bit
ter regret of thinking when it is too
late how the good words withheld
might have lighteued and cheered a
life now gone from us! Aud we be-
lieve that injustice to our public men
during life, and fulsome penegyric
after they are gone hence, is one OF
the evil Inconsistencies that ought to
be banished from our country

A FULL.BLOWN SENSATION.
August Spies, the Anarchist Leader, to
Marry a Chicago Beauty and
HairaSS

CHICAGO, Ill, Jan. 15.-AIiss Nina
Clarke VanZandt, of this city, wilton
next Tuesday, be married to August
Spies, ex.editor of the Arbeiter-Zei-
tung, now under sentence of death
for completely in the Haymarket con-
spiracy and bomb throwing. Miss
VanZandt is the only child of James
X. VanZlndt. q skilled chemist in II
large manufacturing establishment
here and residing in handsome
house in one of the most attractive
portions of the city. The fact of the
wedding was confirmed last night by
both Spies and the father of the
lady. The circumstances as related
to-day by Spies himself in his cell at
the county Jail, are as follows: Our
ing the closing days of the famous
trial of the anarchists, there came
into the court room, among Others
invited by Judge Gary, the lady who
is now to become my wife" Here
the anarchist editor showed the poT-
trait of young lady dressed in the
height of fashion. FINALLY she Wis
tied us in the jail and was formally
introduced to me by one of our coun
sci, Sine found I was neither an ig,
noramus. monster nor beast, and we
became interested in each other until
at last we arrived at a mutual agree
ment. To-day she was here twice, as
were also her parents"
james VanZandt was seen at his
brown-stone residence on the corner
of Huron and Rush streets. He adj
mitted the truth of the statements.
Mr.. VanZandt said he had always
treated his daughter as he had been
treated by his own parents. When
he was spoken to by her on the sub
ject he had decided not to oppose
her wishes He told her then to
think the matter over carefully, and
if she still adhered to her views, her
fathers consent would not be with
held. He had found upon inquiry
that Spies life, aside from his con
nection with socialism, had been ad-
mirable and he considered it useless
to oppose the marriage. The pros
pective bride was born January 5,
1867. On her fathers side she is de
scended from Knickerbocker fam
lily TINT removed from New York
city to Pennsylvania about fifty years
ago. Her mother was daughter of
Thomas Gray Clarke of Pittsburgh.
Through him her lineage extended
bach through Scotch English auces-
tors to connection with The roya
house of Stuart. Miss VauZandt is
the heiress of an aunt whose estate
is valued at 100000. The license
clerk has avowed his determination
not to issue license in this case I'M
less compelled by law.

The Cresset seems to be unable to
see any other interest but that of the
banks, and because they are prosper
porous, argues that the entire COM

while friendly to the banks, is chiefly
interested in the prosperity of the
laboring people, the source of all

The Terrell Star is of the opinion
that it is much easier to select some
thing good for publication than it is
to write it. He acts upon this idea
and uses the scissors hberally.-

The Stars opinion is about the
same as that of nine-tenths of the
country newspapers throughout the
state Victoria Advocate.
And a very sensible idea it is.
Taste and Judgment in selecting and
preparing for publication, rather than
ready writing, is what constitutes the
true editor. The editor of the Blan-
co Star is the only man we know in
the business who avows that he can
write a great deal better than any
thing he can find to select.

When the House took up the bill
for a reorganization Of the Navy, Mr.
Gotf, of w. Va, who was Secretary
of the Navy for q few weeks under
MIR. Hayes, entered upon a lengthy
criticism of the bill, and charged the
lack of a Navy TO the Democratic par
ty. Representative Buck thought it
strange that after Republican Secre-
taries of the Navy had for years rec
commended this same kind Of legisla-
ton, it should now be opposed be-
cause Democratic Secretary had
recommended it. Mr. Boutelle, OF
Maine, who is one of the narrowest
partisans on the republican side, de-
MED that Mr.. Golf or himself had
changed front in regard to this mat
ter. But Mr.. Buck did not waver
Said he: "You are opposed to it to-
day, you were opposed to it yester-
day, you will be opposed to it to-mor-
row, and everlastingly opposed to it
as long as a Democratic Secretary is
in power.
As to the present condition OF
Democracy and what it is doing,
Gen. Black, Commissioner of Pen
sions, gives picture in a recent let
ter to Allen G.. Thurman, which is
calculated to rejoice the heart OF
every one to whom success is dear.
Said he: "a triumphant democracy
administers the affairs of the repub'
lie. Quietly but positively the re-
forms that have long been demanded
by the people, so far as the admins
trative branch of the government is
concerned, are in vigorous effect.
Economy and law are the standards
Of official action. Partisanship does
not now throw its sword into the
scales of justice. Submission to as,
sessments by public officials for par
tisan purposes is not condition OF
public service. Contracts are not let
to the highest partisan bidder, and
the public lands are safe within the
pale of the statutes" What more
could be said in behalf of the great
party which has brought about these
things in the brief space of twenty
two months

Mr.. Il, p. Reynolds not long since
informed US that Col. Ford was con-
templating writing the life OF one oil
both of the noted Texans, Gen. and
Mai. Ed. Burleson, and that in order
thereto the papers of the latter had
been turned over TO him (Mr. RI
and that he had been for some time
"going through" them, finding there
in treasures Of history rich and rare
As n sample he showed us an extra
of Norton's Intelligencer, dated, we
believe, in 1861, in which was an
original letter from Gen. Sam Hous-
ton in reply to statement which
had been made that he that he had
become secessionist. We have
heard this same thing positively
stated, but this letter will effective
ly negative the charge on the pages
of history. 1t is IN outspoken, elo'
quent expression of the writer's con-
tinued devotion to the Union senti-
ment of the Jackson school of dem
ocracy in whose faith he had lived
from Lis youth up. We should like
very much to be permitted to publish
tins letter in justice to the name and
memory of this foremost man OF Tex
as, so shamefully treated in his latter
days by the land for which be had
done and suffered so much.
Mr.. Reynolds informed us that the
large collection of letters and other
MSS. and printed matters of Maj
Durleson were found wonderfully
well preserved and arranged, cohsid-
ering the fact that literature was not
his profession. We trust the idea OF
a biography of the Burlesons, faith.
er and son, may be carried out. Ger
tainly many men of far less merit and
honorable fame than Gen. Blrleson
have been thus honored. Col. Ford
is the man to write this biography,
having been associated with both in
the field, and their intim tie frien |,
and being an experienced writer
But we will add, should he, from his
advanced years or other causes fail
to do the work, then we think MIR.
Raynolds should undertake it. He
has the materials in his possession
and in course of examination, is also
a good writer, and possesses the III
terest, amounting almost to enthusi-
asm, in the subject which would in
sure success. We trust the work
may be prepared and sent to press
at as early n day as may be found
1t is due to the history
of this country, and especially OF
Texas, that these her worthy defend
ers and representatives should be
thus recognized and honored before

The Cresset argues that because
there are as reported 1929, 29S.50 on
deposit in our banks. that there
fore our town and community are
ready to go on u boom. But is there
the least likelihood in the world that
at u time of general poverty like the
present, these depositors will venture
to bring ont their funds and invest
them in any of the enterprises harped
upon by the Cresset? The idea is
most prcposterous.
Again, how many people in our
town and county are interested in
this 1929, 29S.5O? Not over half
dozen persons probably have "the
lions share" in this large sum. How
much comfort is it to such of our
farmers as are daily having to mort
gage the proceeds of their next year
crops as desperate resort to keep
their heads above wpter, or to our
other labor;ng people who are unable
to make both ends meet, to hear that
Il handful of their fellow-citizens have
many thousands of dollars lying in
the banks at interest? Will they be
able to realize the Cresset's boom,
present or prospective. in such
state of facts? Or will anybody else
be able to do so?
We wonder where the Cresset gets
It's ideas of political economy, and
especially of the philosophy of booms.
